Baby Gear Rental vs. Buy: What Makes More Sense?

Math time: Buying a full gear setup costs Rs 25k+. Renting the same premium brands? A fraction of that. Let's look at the real numbers.

The Real Cost of Buying

If you plan to have a second child soon or travel by car daily for 3+ years, buying makes total sense. We'll be honest: renting isn't for everyone. But for that 6-month in-between stage? It's unbeatable.
